ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting SetInterval To Recognize The MyInterval Variable From The Function?

Nov 7, 2004

My goal is to change the time for setInterval each time the function is called. Planning to replace myInterval = 5000; with a randomized number. My problem is getting setInterval to recognize the myInterval variable from the function.

var myInterval = 1000;
callback = function() {
_root.myMovie.gotoAndPlay(1);[code]....

ActionScript 2.0 :: Function Won't Recognize A Variable Parameter?

Oct 22, 2009

For the record I am running Flash CS4, but am using actionscript 2.0 (its just what I know, and I don't feel like learning 3.0)-So I'm making a contact list, and each of the names will be clickable to bring up more information. There's going to be a lot of names, so I'm trying to keep the actionscript concise. The code is shown below in a simplified form, but essentially I have created a variable for the hexadecimal color, and I have created a function which will change the text color of each of the name buttons. This works, I have tested it. But, I don't want to have to tell the function to run for every single name button

(eg. changeColor (option1 , testColor);
changeColor (option2 , testColor);
changeColor (option3 , testColor);
etc..)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Variable Speed Clock / SetInterval Function

Jul 25, 2007

You can see the .swf of what I have created here at [URL]. The idea is that the user can change the speed of the simulation clock at any time using the slider. I noticed while building this, that this thing worked until I tried making it so that the user could change the speed at any time (this is a necessary part of the design). The relevant part of the code is as follows:

var time_intervalID:Number;
var stime_intervalID:Number;
var time_interval:Number;
var stime_interval:Number;
function clockUpdate() {
[Code] .....

First of all, I need to get the clocks working correctly. Secondly, I would really like it if the user could type in a number and the slider would adjust accordingly .

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetInterval, Classes And Variable Scope?

Jul 27, 2005

I'm trying to make a Class for a slideshow. I have a problem using the setInterval and clearInterval methods.See my code below. In the showPic function I have a conditional clearing the interval (repeating the showPic function). At least, it should do so, but it's not working. The interval continues. I'm using "this" so that's not the problem. Maybe it has to do with the scope of the variable to which I assigned the interval?

Flash :: Play MovieClip At Variable Speed Using SetInterval()

Mar 10, 2011

I'm trying to play through a MovieClip frame by frame using setInterval. Overall I'm trying to imitate speeding up and slowing down of the MovieClip by changing the setInterval time. Basically, when a user moves the Slider the MovieClip needs to speed up or slow down based on the Slider value. EDIT: The code above works to a certain extent. As in the slider updates updateClip() and the MovieClip does actually play at one speed. But the MovieClip does not play at the speed variable value. If I remove the ClearInterval() the MovieClip just plays at one speed but then doubles when the Slider is changed. What I'm looking for is the MovieClip to play at the same rate as speed value.

Web Development :: Stop A SetInterval Function?

Nov 10, 2009

I have a function that I want to run at an interval within a frame. I use the following code to start the function:

var intervalID = setInterval(intervalFunction, 3000);

Then, in a button's onRelease I want to stop the function. In the onRelease, I make a transition to another frame.

btn.onRelease = function()
{
clearInterval(intervalID);
gotoAndPlay("nextframe");
}

The intervalFunction continues to execute.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Looping A SetInterval Function?

Nov 20, 2009

I'm creating a banner ad that tweens a thought bubble.It has 3 bubbles which tweens from the small bubble(1st one) to the big(3rd)one every 1/2 second with the setInterval function and then Invokes another setInterval which changes the text in the big bubble every 2sec. I got it to work perfectly, but the only problem is that I cant get it to loop through again properly. When I try to invoke the setInterval "animBubble" in the changeText function it doesnt read the clearInterval in the "animBubble" function causing it not to stop once the 3rd bubble has tweened in.

Here is my code:

ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

I added a setinterval function to my slideshow.Prob is when the slideshow reaches the last pic it returns to pic1 goes to pic2,... but after the second loop it starts mixing the wrong pics for the wrong number.I guess I did a mistake in the if statement(if (nextSlideNode == null)...). can someone solve this for me.

See following code below. Also how can I stop this animation. I did something like learinterval(advance); but that did not do the trick.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Clearing SetInterval From A Different Function?

Jun 25, 2006

how to clear the interval in this code? I'd also like to know if there is a better way of firing makeStars() than using setInterval in a function - like I'm doing. I've looked at the Kirupa tutorial and I'm not seeing what should be done.

Basically, this attaches a number of stars within the Stage width and height properties. When the browser resizes I rewrite the stars to the screen with the new bounds. But I can't get the interval to stop, so the stars just keep getting replaced - disappearing and relocating abruptly.

It all works great outside of the resizeIt() function, but once inside she goes down hill from there. A couple of things I need cleared up (pun intended) are:

1. Am I creating a new interval each time resizeIt() is executed?

2.What is the scope of the interval(s), and does how you access them change depending on where you are in the code, or are they more global?

stop();
//number of stars to make
var numstars:Number = 100;
_root.attachMovie("background","bkgd",this.getNext HighestDepth());

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetInterval On Attachmovie Function With X And Y Loc?

Apr 28, 2008

I have a function on my script that attaches a movieclip on a specific position and then it duplicates it several times. This movieclip has a code in order to move across the stage randomly. When I try to use SetInterval to repeat this function two weird things happen: the movieclips don't duplicate over that specific location (they appear on x=0,y=0) and if I set the location only one duplicates and the rest don't. My question is: what can I do to repeat the function every 2 seconds exactly as it is the first time it runs, without the objects not duplicating or moving from the original location?

Here's the code:
meteoros = function () {
this.attachMovie("asteroid","asteroid_mc",this.get NextHighestDepth());

ActionScript 3.0 :: Re-setInterval Each Time Function Works?

Mar 19, 2012

I have a function that draws a rectangle on the screen (see createInfoPanel())While drawing rectangle, I am adding 2 text fields on it.But as you may guess, it is adding those immediately. I want to delay adding these text fields, then I want to remove these panels after a while. The problem is, when I set an interval or timer, they won't work after I using once (I had to stop them by clearing/removing, it didn't set them again).Since my panel is being created each time image changes, I need them to work every time image changes.
 
So, I have 2 questions:1- How can I re-set interval each time my createInfoPanel() function works? It won't work anymore after setting and claring once. 2- You can see infoPanel.addChild(titleField); line in addInfoPanel() function. How can I work a smooth animation here? I mean, text appears slowly?

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetInterval For Multiple Clips In One Function?

Apr 7, 2011

My issue is that I want to set up a system whereby I can register clips to a class that will have certain properties set and then animate changes in those properties. Namely, each clip is placed at a different _y position at authoring time, then at run time be repositioned at a different _y position, only to be animated back to the original position. I want to do this so I can edit the clips in their destined places to layout their positioning.

Visually, my code works fine but, as is apparent from the "trace("muvUp "+thing);", the interval isn't being cleared. And what's worse � at around 40000 (of getTimer()), the clips start disappearing.

I've attached a file but here's the code I'm working with (as you can see with the lines I've commented out, i've tried a few different options):

//MY CLASS ON FRAME 1:
function wordsClass(){}
wordsClass.prototype = new MovieClip();

Actionscript 3.0 :: Accessing SetInterval() ID Created Within A Function

Jan 7, 2009

I am creating a text scroller and am having problems with clearInterval - the text starts scrolling, but it won't stop after I try to clear it upon a button click.

1. I declare a var (uint) equal to a setInterval() call within a function (if the text exceeds the width of the textField)

2. I have a button that "turns off" the mp3 player (swf) and resets all the text fields.

3. I can't seem to access the setInterval ID var from within the click handler.

I have declared the var (uint) at the root level, then set it to setInterval() within the function. Then I tried to access it from the click handler. I thought this would work since it's global at that point, but it doesn't.

Here's a link to the page so you can see how it doesn't work [URL] (you have to click on the last link with the long client name)

Here's the code that's involved with this function (of course this is only the relevant code, but I would post the fla when done for anyone who wants to use it):

Code: Select all//::: SCROLL DISPLAY TEXT
function scrollDisplays():void
{
(trackTextField.textWidth > trackTextField.width) ?
